Patient's question:
Coughing and fever. By night, the fever got worse. I took some cough syrup and anti-inflammatory medicine, and when the fever was high, I took fever-reducing medicine. My child coughs easily. I don’t know why, but I was given Levaquin anti-inflammatory medicine. Ibuprofen granules for fever reduction. I hope to get help from experts. What should we do? What should we do if my child always has upper respiratory problems?Doctor's answer:
I believe your baby has developed an upper respiratory infection after catching a cold, which weakened the body's resistance, allowing bacteria or viruses to enter. The clinical symptoms include fever, cough, and phlegm. It is recommended to drink plenty of warm water, take oral ibuprofen granules for fever reduction, and consume light, easily digestible foods. Avoid spicy or other irritating foods. Eating pears or drinking pear soup cooked with rock sugar is beneficial because pears have the effects of moistening the lungs and clearing the respiratory tract. You can also use a nebulizer for inhalation. Always maintain fresh and moist indoor air to prevent the influence of smoke and dust. Pay attention to keeping warm and avoiding catching colds to alleviate the symptoms of the cold. I hope my explanation provides you with some help.
